Alex Ovechkin Begins Final Season With Emotional Home Opener Win

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin kicked off his announced final NHL season with a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. In a touching pregame moment, his sons Sergei and Ilya announced him to a standing ovation at Capital One Arena, which Ovechkin called a 'pretty cool' experience. The 41-year-old recorded two shots on goal in the 101st meeting against Sidney Crosby, marking the start of a farewell tour for the all-time goals leader.
